I worked with a school leader once and, when I asked them “What do you most need right now?”, they said “I don't know because I have never asked myself that question before”. These online articles are a great place start to find out how mindfulness can help you ask these questions; what do I need, how do I fit it into my day and why is it important?

By external standards I was highly successful, but inside I was deeply unhappy [..] I was caught up with external measures of success instead of looking inward to measure my success as a human and a leader. I was losing my way.

Whilst written from a business perspective this article is brilliant at answering the question; when I have so much to do and so little time, why should I devote moments in my day to practicing mindfulness?
